Removing placards

You've got to show it's gas free.

 

You are considered "loaded" for placard purposes until the tank is washed and certified vapor-free.

The wash rack should pull off the placards.

 

Yes. We used to have our own wash out forms we could fill out. Rinsing down the tank with a garden hose after unloading constitutes a wash out.

 

Um yeah, hauled Haz-Waste so yeah it was some nasty stuff. Don’t really think you need to stick you head in the tank. What are you 4 foot nothing?

So the Bolded part first. BullSnip! Post the reg or take a hike.

Now the rest.... Never ever just run on the ground. Come on now use some common sense! While your unloading you rinse the tank down.

See now instead being insulting & talking to me like a fool, you could take 30 seconds to ask a question like an adult! I worked the waste world, i understand my experience does not completely translate to the product world. However the Op did not specify waste or product now did he? No. A tank is a tank. At the end of the day, even when hauling product, if your reciever will let you, you can rinse your tank down and it would constitute a clean tank.

All you need for DOT is a letter that states when the tank was washed, where the tank was washed, and a signiture. *Maybe the name of the last contained was required too, i forget if we had to put that down on our forum.

So to answer the Op’s original question, Yes a rinse out equals a wash out. Pull them placards

 

Right on REO send them tanks out to the certified. We hauled gasoline and we had two choices, one, get the tank certified gas free, or, two fill the tanks with water. I would not recommend the water just for the fact it weighs a lot.
